Well, I tried again (with the link you gave me), and got the same version 
number and the same register dump result. For good measure I also tried the 
atrpms released ivtv.ko again with the same result. Somewhere there must be 
lurking a module that lets you dump those registers, but it's not at 
http://ivtvdriver.org/viewcvs/ivtv/branches/0.8.tar.gz?view=tar

No, I'm not certain at all. Ivtv was in early and medium 2005 in heavy flux, 
all kind of drivers came with ivtv _and_ with the kernel, and you could get 
all kinds of contradictory advise to use which with what parameters. 
But it's in the directory /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.27_FC3/ivtv/, so my guess 
would be that this is the driver that came with ivtv-0.3.2q. The machine that 
this was compiled on has been gone, as have the sources (I'm not running FC3 
anymore anywhere), and once I got something that worked satisfactory I 
stopped experimenting.
I do also have a driver 
in /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.27_FC3/updates/drivers/media/video/ which I have 
renamed to cx25840.ko.NOT, so I guess that's not the one used here.
(I've noticed that the access bits of drivers don't get set when they're 
loaded, even though from rc.sysinit I have the impression that driver loading 
happens after mounting the root file system rw).
